So you're going to create a separate app because of Lodsys's patent claim? Personally (not as a lawyer) I'd do an in app purchase, then if you ever got a cease and desist I'd take down the app and create two separate ones. Hopefully Lodsys will be dead soon enough: there's legislation in the US to stop patent trolls, but it won't be enforceable for quite a while.
